Washington Wins Game from Indianapo-
lis by Better Batting.
The frequent showers of rain that fell yester-
day morning in strict accordance with the signal
service predictions made it necessary to post
pone the forenoon game between the Washing
ton and indianapolis clubs. Notwithstanding
the unfavorable weather about thousand peo-
pie went out to the grounds expecting to see at
least few innings played, and the management
tried to them from disappointment by
making such a free distribution of eaw-dust
over the damp spots IN the grounds as would
render playing possible. but only half-dozen
balls had passed the home plate, one of
which hit Ssery and gave him lease on first
base, when shower began to fall and the um-
pire called the game.
Four hours of continuous sunshine took a
great deal of the dampness ont Of the grounds,
and everything appeared auspicious for a good
game in the afternoon. People began going out
TO the grounds early, and half an hour before
the playing commenced every seat in the grand
stand was occupied and the bleaching boards"
were covered. Five hundred or moro persons
whom the managers could not guarantee a seat
were turned away After all the standing room
had been taken. hundred or two persons were
allowed to squat along the fence in right and left

Philadelphia Necessities.


It has at last dawned on the Philadelphia
management that their team it is present con-
structed is lamentably weak IN batting. That
fact was apparent to it's patrons for some time,
and it took Reach and Rogers long time to find
it ont. Now they are making frantic efforts to
sirens CITIZEN the club in that respect. One thou
sand pillars has been offered to New Orleans for
Campans and SIS. 900 for Denny's and Glass
cocks releases. The fact that they have an
eighty Thousand dollar grounds and grand-stand
does not draw crowd. The people like
to see the homo club win once in awhile,
and they don't care a cent for the grand
stand and pretty grounds if the local team on it
is being knocked all over the lot. They tried to
cell Woods release to Indian polis but 10 is no
better than their own feldsrs, and they did not
want him.
Bastian 10 in fine form and practices daily, and
many wonder if Harry Wright will give him
another chance at short or second, whether he
will try to make few hundred dollars on his
reease. It is to be hoped that when the boys
get back their own grounds they will win
few games. and regain their place among the lead
ers. as it is very provoking to see Pittsburg and
Washington close to them. Maui will be
given opportunity to do some hitting and
pitching next week against the Pistsburgs.
